We are back in the Johannesburg high court where #NtuthukoShoba's lawyers are applying to reopen their case. They have set up a screen on the witness stand to allow for a video of #TshegofatsoPule leaving Shoba's complex to be seen. @motso_modise
Acting judge Wilson has granted this application. The court is now setting the video up.
Members of #TshegofatsoPule's family start weeping loudly as they see video footage of her and #NtuthukoShoba walking to the Jeep that we now know was driven by Muzikayise Malephane who confessed to murdering Tshego. @motso_modise
